Is this fix going to prevent from this type of error message to happen?

Yes, I believe it should address the majority if not all occurrences of this error.

Thank you Adam for the clarity. @Adam-google 

This has been one of my long-running mystery why and when this errors come up, as I was difficult to rerpro/identify the possible root cause.

Good to hear this fix will remove my headache. Cheers.

@lizlynch 

Could you include the release status of this fix ?

With my accounts, I still see the same errror messages quite often , so wondering the fix is not reaching to my account yet, but I also wish to make it sure by checking the release status.

As far as my own testing is concerned, it is apparent to me that this fixed has been deployed only to the free users so far. What's your ETA?  (Not asking for K-Pop song... )

I have one app which can easily repro the error (Transaction is already closed error) with my paid account. We copy the same app to the free account, then I luckily managed NOT to repro the same issue, which give me a sense that the fix has been so far deployed only to the free users....

@Koichi_Tsuji correct, it's still only enabled for free accounts at the moment. I had an additional sync-related fix that I wanted to include before ramping it further. I believe that fix was released yesterday, so I will begin ramping through paid accounts soon. Probably will be fully in effect within two weeks if no problems are identified.
